TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:23-28 In this controversy, Jesus and his disciples are accused of breaking the Sabbath (Exod 20:8-11). Picking grain by hand in another person’s field was lawful (Deut 23:25). The charge was that by rubbing the chaff from the kernels, the disciples were working on the Sabbath, which was forbidden (Exod 34:21).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-proverbs

τὸ Σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο, καὶ οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ Σάββατον

the Sabbath because_of the person became and not the person because_of the Sabbath

Here, Jesus uses or invents a proverb in order to teach that God set up the Sabbath for the sake of people. Translate this proverb in a way that will be recognized as a proverb and be meaningful in your language and culture. Alternate translation: “Humans were made first, and then the Sabbath was set up because of them. It is not true that the Sabbath was set up first, and then humans were made because of it”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὸ Σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο

the Sabbath because_of the person became

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: “God made the Sabbath for man”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τὸν ἄνθρωπον & ὁ ἄνθρωπος

the person & the person

The word man represents men and women in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “people … people”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ Σάββατον

not the person because_of the Sabbath

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “man was made not for the Sabbath” or “it is not that God made man for the Sabbath”
